Answer
The type of pain you describe, intense and in the buttucks, can be a sign of a pinched nerve. The amount and type of exercise that you are getting is not enough to bring on severe post-exercise muscle soreness or spasms. And your pain doesn't sound like typical muscle soreness either. Talk to your OBGYN or GP and get a referral to a Physical Therapist or Chiropractor who specializes in pre and post natal problems.
